SUMMARY:E Kanikapila Kākou Week 1:  “Golden Nā Leo: Makana Sings Hawaiʻi’s Songs of Romance from the 50s & 60s”
DESCRIPTION:EKK opens Season 2025 on Monday\, February 3 at the OUTRIGGER Kauaʻi Beach Resort & Spa in Lihuʻe with a nostalgic and scintillating musical flashback to an earlier time in Hawaiʻi featuring celebrated entertainer\, singer and slack key virtuoso Makana. \nJoin us for an evening of “golden era” sounds as Makana takes us back in time to the heyday of Hawaiʻi’s legendary crooners\, remembering icons like Alfred Apaka\, Don Ho\, Sonny Chillingworth\, Kui Lee\, The Kalima Brothers and more. \nThe atmosphere of mid-century Waikīkī inspires this tribute to a time and place that remains indelibly tattooed on the hearts and minds of people worldwide\, never again to be experienced. \nMakana shares about his inspiration and process reanimating these vintage styles and sounds: \n“Modernity often feels as though we are being swept into a homogenized future leaving behind our rich and varied cultural past\, yet we value timeless cultural practices\, traditional folk arts\, and cherished memories of a simpler time. I was watching old videos of my kumu\, Uncle Sonny\, and realized his unique slack key sound was partly attributed to a specific guitar – a 1964 Chet Atkins 6120. So\, I went searching\, found one\, and had it restored. The sound is incredible and just like Sonny’s! Hearing it inspired me to go back through my LPs and fall in love once again with songs and sounds from those early days of highly melodic Hapa Haole classics- some sappy\, some truly classy and others downright comical. The levity spoke to me; some innocence lost. Listening to live recordings of these legends brought tears to my eyes. I’m diving into arrangements in slack key and other modes to reanimate favorite mele and exploring my baritone and falsetto deeper. It feels like I’m unearthing all these varied personalities; like acting\, in a fashion. I’m having a blast\, and I’m excited to share these treasures from our past. There’s really almost nowhere in Hawaiʻi one can go to hear the older styles. Virtually everyone has moved on. But I’ve always felt these classic musical contributions deserve our eternal enjoyment and celebration. And they speak to our not-so-distant history\, and in that I feel there is much to be learned in terms of envisioning where we are heading and where we may want to adjust course. As Hawaiʻi homogenizes more toward any modern capitalist society\, what sense of place are we maintaining? Many transplants moved here with the vision portrayed in this old music. Now it’s gone\, and so is the vision\, which means those visions are often replaced by those offered up by corporations and institutions. We all have different orientations; perhaps this particular aesthetic still has great value to offer our diverse community. Simply\, remembering a time when singing\, laughing\, socializing and appreciating beauty were core to our appreciation for being in Hawai’i.” \nMakana believes in honoring those who came before. Makana shares about his inspiration and process reanimating these vintage styles and sounds: \n“As Hawaiian music has “streamlined” with economic influences like the massive hula market in Japan\, much of the musicianship and varied influences have quietly atrophied. Much attention has been given to the renaissance artists of the 70s- Gabby\, Genoa\, Sons of Hawaiʻi\, Mākaha Sons\, Calimero’s\, Peter Moon\, Hui ʻOhana\, Beamers — but not so much from the previous eras. However\, the music from all those eras was intimately influenced by American styles. The crooners of mid-century paved a glorious path of melody\, rhythm and harmony that perfectly encapsulated the aesthetic of the era prior to the folk/ rock explosion of the late 60s. Those entertainers and their magical environs swept locals and visitors alike into a dreamworld of myth\, romance and music- a curious blend of crooning\, lounge\, exotica\, Hawaiian traditions\, Broadway\, Latin jazz and American pop. Songs from this era celebrate the amalgamation of cultures and lifestyles like no other\, like time capsules to a time when Hawaiʻi was truly the romance capital of the world!” \nAttendees are encouraged to dress “period-appropriate” with Hawaiʻi-inspired fashion from the 50s\, 60s and even 70s. To get into the proper mood of the music of an earlier time\, we invite the audience to come dressed in their best “retro” attire from yesteryear; arrive your fashionable best with Japanese silk “ka-be” shirts\, vintage muʻumuʻu\, elegant coifs and whatever else might transport you back to those days of magical music from the bygone golden era of romance celebrated in Hawaiian song. \nInstead of the ʻUkulele Circle\, join us in a Waikiki Welcome! \n#### \nThe Garden Island Arts Council presents E Kanikapila Kakou 2025 as a Community Enrichment program made possible with funding support from the Hawaiʻi Tourism Authority (HTA) with support services from Kilohana at Council for Native Hawaiian Advancement (CNHA). \n#### \nEKK Special from Hotel: \nWe are so excited you are attending our EKK Concert Series! We value and care for our guests and what better way to enjoy the OUTRIGGER Way with an overnight stay. On behalf of EKK and OUTRIGGER Kauai Beach Resort & Spa\, here is a link to our special rates\, as this season is a busy one\, we recommend booking your reservations promptly. \nEKK Series Booking Link \n#### \nHotel Parking Options: Parking options at the OUTRIGGER Kaua`i Beach Resort include the following three choices: 1. Valet parking at the porte-cochere; 2. Free event parking in the unpaved area beyond the covered parking stalls — get there by turning right at the first opportunity and then take a left into a dirt field; or 3.

SUMMARY:E Kanikapila Kākou Week 3:  Jamminʻ with the Masters – Ledward Kaapana\, Jeff Peterson\, Bobby Ingano & David Kamakahi
DESCRIPTION:E Kanikapila Kākou 2025  \nOUTRIGGER Kaua‘i Beach Resort and Spa  \nTheme: “Music Heals” & “Hawaiian Music Traditions”  \nMonday Nights – 6:00 – 8:30 pm\, through March 24; Doors open at 5:00 pm \nWeek 3\, February 17 – Jamminʻ with the Masters – Ledward Kaapana\, Jeff Peterson\, Bobby Ingano & David Kamakahi \nThe fortunate few who get to sit backstage or in the garage while master musicians have fun sharing their joy of music in informal kanikapila-style experience a very special scene.  Four master musicians at the top of their game will welcome you into their special space where they talk music to each other\, challenge each other\, inspire each other with their unique styles and artistry. “Without the burden of audience expectations and while sharing within the safe haven of a musical ʻohana\, artists love to play the music that wells out of a deeper place of sharing and camaraderie.” \nLed Kaapana thrills and inspires audiences worldwide with his unmatched virtuosity in kihoʻalu\, ʻukulele\, and leo kie kie\, and he throws in an unexpected joke if he is so moved. His devoted fans from many corners of the world call themselves “LedHeads” and often show up wherever Led performs. Expect the unexpected with Led as every performance is spontaneous and fresh. He often jokes\, “I no rehearse!” He thrills audiences and when the audience thrills him\, he lets out his inimitable Ledward giggle. \nInspired and mentored by Led\, David Kamakahi has honed his craft as one of the outstanding ʻukulele players of this generation. He toured extensively with his father\, the late Reverand Dennis Kamakahi\, composer extraordinaire\, and now plays with the group Waipuna along with Kale Hannahs and Matt Sproat. We are fortunate to be able to have him share his ʻukulele virtuosity on Kauaʻi between two tours to Japan. Jamminʻ with such a revered circle of artists\, David is sure to “cut loose”! \nBobby Ingano\, undoubtedly THE master steel guitar artist in Hawaiʻi\, spends much time on tour with Taj Mahal\, but values any time he can spend time playing music on Kauaʻi. A lead artist in the Steel Guitar festivals staged on all the islands\, Bobby WOWʻs the audience when he “Sleepwalks” and plays any of his mesmerizing steel solos. Humble and quiet\, his music speaks volumes as kolohe Bobby adds delightful paʻani and unexpected steel sounds to enhance the music by other artists. Born in Lanai City\, Lanai\, Bobby credits his teachers for his musical guidance – grandparents\, aunts\, uncles and Feet Rogers. \nJeff Peterson is undoubtedly a master musician at the top of his game\, comfortable with audiences worldwide in a variety of musical genres. Peterson’s style fuses traditional Slack Key with elements of classical and jazz guitar. Born on the Island of Maui\, Jeff grew up on the slopes of Haleakala where he was introduced to the rich heritage of Hawaiian music by his father\, a paniolo\, or Hawaiian cowboy\, on the Haleakala Ranch. The music that he heard from his father and other paniolos as well as the slack key on classic recordings by the Gabby Pahinui Band\, Leonard Kwan\, and Sonny Chillingworth made a deep and lasting impression on him that he continues to draw inspiration from today. He went on to study jazz and classical guitar at the University of Southern California and at the University of Hawai‘i at Manoa; today he is one of the most sought after artists in Hawaiʻi. \nPurchase tickets at:  http://EKK2025.eventbrite.com \nHotel Parking Options: Parking options at the OUTRIGGER Kaua`i Beach Resort include the following three choices: 1.

SUMMARY:E Kanikapila Kākou Week 4:  “The Amazing Charlotte Apo with the Mokihana Serenaders”.  Plus “Hot Kūpuna Strut Their Stuff”
DESCRIPTION:E Kanikapila Kākou 2025  \nOUTRIGGER Kaua‘i Beach Resort and Spa  \nTheme: “Music Heals” & “Hawaiian Music Traditions”  \nMonday Nights – 6:00 – 8:30 pm\, through March 24; Doors open at 5:00 pm \nWeek 4\, February 24:  “The Amazing Charlotte Apo with the Mokihana Serenaders” (Paul Ventura\, Pancho Graham\, Norman Kaawa Solomon\, Kilipaki Vaughan). Plus “Hot Kūpuna Strut Their Stuff” \nBorn in the fishing village of Miloliʻi on Hawaiʻi Island on May 29\, 1937\, Charlotte Apo grew up in a close-knit community where singing and playing Hawaiian songs was a basic lifestyle. Charlotte attended Kamehameha Schools from 1952 to 1955.  She worked for Hawaiian Airlines playing music and also played music with Aunty Genoa Keawe. Music was a major part of her life. \nIn 2011\, at the age of 74\, Charlotte was clinically diagnosed with Alzheimerʻs. Her short-term memory is nearly non-existent\, but music and long-term memories related to music are fortunately intact. As long as she is prompted with her song titles\, Charlotte can draw from her encyclopedic memory banks of traditional Hawaiian songs and accompanies herself with her zesty ʻukulele strumming. Does she get tired?  Not when she is accompanied by the Mokihana Serenaders\, a dynamite ensemble of Kauaʻi musicians including Pancho Graham on upright bass\, Kilipaki Vaughan on steel guitar\, and Norman Kaʻawa Solomon and Paul Ventura\, Charlotteʻs son\, on guitar. \nAdding to the fun and action for the evening\, kupuna are invited to get up and “strut their stuff” when they are so moved.  It will be hard to keep the kupuna in their chairs with such rousing Hawaiian music. \nCharlotte and the Mokihana Serenaders are embarking on a new “career” playing on the set for the upcoming movie\, “Hawaiian Vacation” which will be released\, hopefully\, soon. \nʻUkulele Hour: Beverly Kauanui \nPurchase tickets at: http://EKK2025.eventbrite.com \nThe Garden Island Arts Council presents E Kanikapila Kakou 2025 as a Community Enrichment program made possible with funding support from the Hawaiʻi Tourism Authority (HTA) with support services from Kilohana at Council for Native Hawaiian Advancement (CNHA). \nEKK Special from Hotel: \nWe are so excited you are attending our EKK Concert Series!

SUMMARY:E Kanikapila Kākou Week 8:  “A Legacy of Hawaiian Song & String” featuring Raiatea Helm and an Ensemble of Hawaiʻi’s Top Musicians
DESCRIPTION:E Kanikapila Kākou 2025  \nOUTRIGGER Kaua‘i Beach Resort and Spa  \nTheme: “Music Heals” & “Hawaiian Music Traditions”  \nMonday Nights – 6:00 – 8:30 pm\, through March 24; Doors open at 5:00 pm  \n Week 8\, March 24:  Raiatea Helm presents: A Legacy of Hawaiian Song & String\, Volume One — Raiatea Helm and an Ensemble of Hawaiʻi’s Top Musicians \nJoin us for an extraordinary evening that unites the past and present in a heartfelt celebration of Hawaiʻi’s enduring legacy. Raiatea Helm will present an unforgettable evening showcasing her critically acclaimed album\, A Legacy of Hawaiian Song & String\, a tribute to the troubadours of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. \nAccompanied by an ensemble of Hawaiʻi’s finest musicians – Ian OʻSullivan\, Duane Padilla\, Scott Robert Villiger\, CaseyAlan Olsen\, and Kapono Lopes — Raiatea breathes new life into these timeless compositions\, honoring the composers and storytellers who shaped Hawaiʻi’s rich musical history. \nRaiatea is one of the last keepers of traditional Hawaiian music\, setting the standard to ensure the quality and authenticity of this cherished art form are preserved and honored. Through her interpretations\, she carries forward the legacy of these mele\, bringing to life the voices and stories of a once-flourishing nation. \nBorn on Oʻahu\, raised on Molokaʻi\, and deeply connected to Hanapēpē\, Kauaʻi\, where her mother is a native\, two-time Grammy nominee and multiple Nā Hōkū Hanohano Award winner Raiatea Helm is known for her clear leo kiʻekiʻe (high voice) and her mastery of leo haʻihaʻi —a uniquely Hawaiian vocal style where the intentional breaking of the voice reflects the deep emotions embedded in the poetry of folk songs.

SUMMARY:BOB MACKIE: Naked Illusion
DESCRIPTION:Presented by The Fashion Club of KCC.  Tickets are $10 and free for KCC students\, staff and faculty.  Ticket and concession proceeds benefit The Fashion Club. \nBOB MACKIE: Naked Illusion \nShowcases the six-decade career of award-winning costume designer\, Bob Mackie.  And like his costumes\, Bob Mackie is wholly unique and unfiltered\, which makes for a compelling and candid subject. \nThe film examines Bob’s unique upbringing\, those whom he has held dear within his inner circle\, and the familial surprises in his life that have all contributed to the optimism and audacity present in his work. \nBecause the film is fully authorized\, Quixotic Endeavors was given access to the full Bob Mackie archive\, which has been meticulously kept and curated with many rare and unseen artifacts\, including the outfits that didn’t make the cut. We also capture the over-the-top costumes as they get sequined and beaded from sketch to stage. Specific highlights include some of the soon-to-be lost art methods by old-world artisans that help make each outfit Mackie conjures something to behold and remember. \n\nThe documentary feature includes original interviews with Bob Mackie clients and collaborators\, along with those he has inspired – designers\, stylists\, comedians and actors\, as well as Bob’s first-person account of some of his most iconic looks from The Carol Burnett Show’s Scarlett O’Hara dress to Cher’s 1986 Academy Awards look with feathered headdress and Tina Turner’s iconic concert costumes.  Bob Mackie is a truly peerless and timeless costume designer\, with interviews from Cher to Pink\, to Tom Ford and Miley Cyrus\, to Rupaul and Carol Burnett a testament to that fact.

SUMMARY:Anat Cohen Quartethino
DESCRIPTION:“Anat does what all authentic musicians do: She tells stories from her own experiences that are so deeply felt that they are very likely to connect listeners to their own dreams\, desires and longings.” – Nat Hentoff \nEver charismatic\, prolific and inspired\, Grammy-nominated clarinetist-saxophonist Anat Cohen has won hearts and minds the world over with her expressive virtuosity and delightful stage presence. The New York Times writes\, “Ms. Cohen on the clarinet was a revelation. Using the clarinet’s upper register\, she could evoke infectious joy. In the lower register\, her playing could conjure a deep\, soulful melancholy. On up-tempo numbers\, her improvisations weren’t just bebop fast; they had a clarity and deep intelligence that is really quite rare. She made it look effortless\, even as she was playing the most technically difficult of all the reed instruments… she took my breath away.”
